It's officially official: Apple has announced the long-anticipated white iPhone 4 will be available starting Thursday, April 28.

"The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived, and it's beautiful," Apple senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Philip Schiller said. "We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we've worked to get every detail right."

According to Tech Crunch and Huffington Post, both AT&T and Verizon models of Apple's white iPhone 4 will be available starting Thursday through Apple.com, Apple stores, authorized Apple resellers, and AT&T/Verizon stores.

The iPhone 4 drew huge lines nationwide when it went on sale in June 2010, but was only available in black at the time. Verizon's iPhone 4 launched in February, making the white iPhone 4 the third major release of virtually the same model.

Engadget and Time confirm that the pricing will be the same as the original iPhone 4, with 16 GB models for $199 and 32 GB versions for $299, with a two-year wireless contract.

Apple also released a statement Wednesday that denied it is tracking iPhone users' locations. "Apple is not tracking the location of your iPhone," the statement said. "Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so."

"The iPhone is not logging your location," Apple press release added. "Rather, it's maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around your current location, some of which may be located more than one hundred miles away from your iPhone, to help your iPhone rapidly and accurately calculate its location when requested."

Apple also said the caching of location history over the past 10 months is a bug they plan to fix with a free software update in the next few weeks. In the future, iPhone and iPad location data will be saved for a maximum of seven days in an encrypted file.
